Synopsis:
Haunting, erotic and ultimately shocking, Pieter Van Hees' LEFT BANK is an occult mystery in the vein of 'The Wicker Man' and 'Rosemary's baby' and brings a distinctly modern sensibility to a timeless theme. It also marks a return to a classic style of filmmaking which relies on masterly atmosphere-building and remarkable performances.

Aspiring athlete Marie (award-winning Eline Kuppens) meets the enigmatic Bobby apparently by chance and the two begin a sexually-charged romance, prompting her to move in with him at a run-down housing estate in the Left Bank district of Antwerp. However, it gradually becomes clear that all is far from well, as Marie discovers that the previous tenant mysteriously disappeared and that something sinister has been hidden in the cellar. Curious, but unable to trust anyone, she follows a thread of increasingly ominous clues into a nightmare of unimaginable horror.
